Full Refunds Promised

The UFC fighter’s meme coin aimed to bring in $1.008 million, but only managed to reach $392,315 in USDC, less than 40% of minimum goal.

The presale offered 60 million $REAL tokens at a starting price of $0.06 each, giving the project a fully diluted valuation of $120 million.

The presale also lasted for 28 hours and saw 668 participants. As a result of not being able to reach the minimum amount, RWG announced that all bids would be fully refunded.

Meme Coin Interest Continues To Decline

Despite backing from McGregor and prominent Web3 firms like Animoca Brands and KuCoin Labs, the presale launched during a difficult time for the crypto market.

Bitcoin (BTC) and U.S. equities both experienced losses, while interest in meme coins continued to decline after a series of high-profile controversies and reduced investor enthusiasm.
